Soccer Ball PC Mod

Bit-Tech is featuring a pretty neat soccer ball PC mod that is worth a look. The mod consists of an EPIA based PC squished into a regulation sized soccer ball and pair of cleats.

When Foxconn approached me to ask if I could put a computer inside a football - I thought, why not? As far as I am aware, no one had done such a thing and I thought it might prove to be an interesting challenge. Aside from obviously actually getting a working PC inside a match-sized football, there was the challenge of keeping the ball inflated!
